Anahita Razmi

Anahita Razmi (*1981) is a German-Iranian visual artist who lives and works in Berlin and London. Razmi studied media art at the Bauhaus University in Weimar and at the Pratt Institute in New York, as well as sculpture at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart.

She works with moving images, installations, photography, objects, and performance. In her artistic practice, she frequently employs strategies of appropriation as well as contextual, geographical, and ideological displacements. Questions of visual politics, power, representation, identity, and transcultural processes are central to her work, particularly in the shifts between the so-called “East” and “West.” Her artistic approach is rooted in material concerns, rather than the metaphorical ones.

Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. She has received numerous awards and scholarships for her artistic creations.
Anahita Razmi teaches as a senior lecturer in the BA Fine Art program at Central Saint Martins, London, and is an associate fellow at the Research Centre for Transnational Art, Identity and Nation (TrAIN), University of the Arts London. In 2024/25, she accepted an interim professorship for Digital and Time-Based Art at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart (together with Prof. Heba Y. Amin).
